The step to enter into counseling is a courageous one, it encompasses your willingness to connect, to be vulnerable, and to seek hope in healing. I see counseling as a way for clients to make change, to liberate one’s self from patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may not be serving you effectively. These patterns are often imposed by society, family, and ones' own culture and/or gender. Counseling is a space to help navigate all that comes with life’s changes. In practice, I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, infertility, postpartum, relationships, job change/loss, and other adjustment related stressors.

Therapy can sometimes be a challenging first step for those currently going through a tough time. It can already be very difficult to try and cope with the day to day struggles as well as past traumas in life that opening up to a stranger may feel intimidating. It is my hope to allow my clients to not only feel safe to share their most unique selves within a therapeutic setting, but also to establish a warm and empathic relationship. As a therapist, I recognize the value of kindness and rapport in helping my clients heal. Feeling both seen and heard can truly make a difference in allowing personal growth to take place.

So, how's the scroll? Looking for a therapist can be stressful enough because most people are unsure how to find the right therapist. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship with your counselor. In other words, it’s best to choose someone that you click with because it’s going to be easier for you to trust the process. I’m definitely a straight shooter, and I tell it like it is, but I always have your best interests in mind. I combine evidence-based treatments with talk therapy, and somehow, humor tends to creep in from time to time too.
